What’s the difference between two? Do data engineers program using big data tech stack or do they only do analytics and bunch of queries?
Practically speaking from experience, probably nothing. In theory, a DE may be more ETL focused whereas a software engineer may build and support a platform
One person makes tools, the other uses them. Amirite?
2nd one sounds like more platform-focused.
At FB, one gets half the RSUs
What about job functionality?
Why does data engineer get paid less?
